CHAPTER 488: CHAPTER 488

Jiang Weiwei’s words caused almost everyone in the Jiang Family to change their expression.

Because since arriving in Emperor City, Jiang Group hadn’t improved at all, so they had always pinned their hopes on relying on Wu Shirong to make a breakthrough in Emperor City.

But Wu Shirong broke up with Jiang Weiwei...

Jiang Tairan was not willing to give up and he questioned Jiang Weiwei.

"But I saw Wu Shirong was very fond of you before, and he took good care of our Jiang Family. It didn’t seem like he was just playing with you, not intending to marry."

Jiang Guosheng also said, "I think so too. He really respected our Jiang Family before, and he would visit us often when there was no issue. It’s just that he’s become suddenly distant recently."

Du Yuke asked Jiang Weiwei, "Did you guys have some sort of disagreement? If there’s a conflict, solving it will be fine. We experienced folks can help you, we’ll do everything possible to help you."

Yu Man said as well, "Moreover, you saved his mother’s life before, you have done their family a favor. They should, both emotionally and reasonably, not treat you like this."

Jiang Weiwei cried out, "Mrs. Wu, the person who was saved, doesn’t take it seriously at all, how can you expect her son to remember it?"

Jiang Weiwei also said, "And Wu Shirong has had many women around him recently, all introduced by Mrs. Wu, all of them are the famous ladies of Emperor City."

"They look down on our Jiang Family so much, that’s why I’ve been working hard to build a career and make them take us seriously."

Jiang Weiwei vehemently smeared Wu Shirong and Mrs. Wu, with the sole purpose of cutting off any possibility of the Jiang Family actively approaching the Wu Family.

When the Jiang Family heard these words from Jiang Weiwei, they all felt quite sad.

Because this also meant that their hopes of leveraging Wu Shirong, and even the Wu Family, to completely open up the Jiang Family’s situation in Emperor City were almost impossible.

But the words Jiang Weiwei said afterward also made them feel very heartbroken, and they even found her quite inspirational.

So, they couldn’t bear to blame Jiang Weiwei anymore: "Good child, it’s hard on you."

Jiang Tairan also tried to gather his emotions and said, "I saw Mr. Li also seemed to like you very much. You rest for a few days, and after that I will arrange for you to meet Mr. Li again."

Jiang Weiwei quietly bit her lip.

Mr. Li...

A divorced man approaching sixty, rumored to have a daughter even older than Jiang Weiwei.

But it is said that Mr. Li is also part of the wealthy circle in Emperor City, capable of speaking out in front of major families like the Fu Family and the Feng Family.

That’s why during this period Jiang Tairan was frequently seen in his company.

Only Jiang Weiwei had never thought that Jiang Tairan was actually considering marrying her off to a divorced man.

Jiang Weiwei truly did not want to accept such an arrangement; she had already been sold off by her family once and didn’t want to do such a thing again at all.

But in front of Jiang Tairan, Jiang Weiwei did not directly refuse.

She thought that she’d wait until after the Weifeng press conference, let Weifeng’s market value increase by several times, and then it wouldn’t be too late to have a falling out with them.

Yu Man saw how Jiang Weiwei appeared resentful without daring to openly express it and felt extremely heartbroken.

So at rest time that night, she spoke with Jiang Guosheng: "Our Weiwei is not lacking in conditions either, if she wants to find someone she truly likes, it wouldn’t be hard. Why does Dad have to force her into marriage with an old divorced man?"

Jiang Guosheng said, "Mr. Li is indeed a bit older and has been divorced, but he gets along well in Emperor City!"

"What’s the use of getting along well if she has to suffer this kind of humiliation? Didn’t you see, just now Weiwei’s tears were about to fall and she was reluctant to oppose Dad’s decision."

Jiang Guosheng said, "I saw it. But I think Dad must have his considerations!"

"What considerations? In the end, it’s for his own benefit," Yu Man’s voice grew louder as she spoke.

Jiang Guosheng, frightened their room’s soundproofing was not good and that Yu Man’s clamor might be heard by others and reach Jiang Tairan’s ears, quickly scolded Yu Man: "You lower your voice! If Dad hears this it will be the end of it."

Yu Man replied, "Let him hear! I am just stating facts; you might be afraid of Dad, but I am not."

"The Jiang Family has become what it is now, and everyone has a certain responsibility. If Dad wants to revitalize the Jiang Family, he can simply arrange for Yuqing and Sibei to be married off, instead of always focusing on our Weiwei!"

"That’s the bottom line, Dad always sacrifices Weiwei because you don’t dare to stand up to him, seeing you as an easy target!"

Yes, Yu Man wanted Jiang Guosheng to show more backbone in front of Jiang Tairan.

In this way, their main household wouldn’t have to be the ones always making concessions.

Jiang Guosheng, seeing that Yu Man seemed determined not to give up until she achieved her goal, quietly disclosed some information to her.

"Xiao Man, I know you care about Weiwei, and I care about her just as much. But the current situation is a bit complicated. We should still try to follow Dad’s wishes as much as possible; he’s suffering from a terminal illness..."

"What?"

Yu Man was somewhat surprised.

"He just found out these past few days and hasn’t told anyone else."

Jiang Guosheng also said, "The reason he wants to marry Weiwei off to Mr. Li is that Mr. Li has some influence with the Feng Family. So, he wants to use Mr. Li to connect with the young genius doctor of the Feng Family to see if the illness can be cured."

After Yu Man recovered from the shock of the news, she still looked displeased.

"He wants to save his own life, but he shouldn’t do so at the expense of sacrificing my daughter’s lifetime happiness. And as for this so-called genius doctor, they are usually frauds; it’s been shown on TV."

But Jiang Guosheng said, "However, Mr. Li speaks very highly of him. It’s said that his eighty-year-old mother also had this disease, and she was saved by the young genius doctor of the Feng Family."

Jiang Guosheng also said, "Moreover, whether the treatment is successful or not, we would have shown our filial piety this time. When it comes to the distribution of assets, we’ll also be able to take some advantage."

When Yu Man heard about the distribution of assets, her face softened.

Therefore, Jiang Tairan pressed on, "Besides, Mr. Li is already sixty, and he doesn’t look very robust. Once Weiwei marries him, as long as she outlasts him, she could inherit a considerable fortune from the Li Family. What kind of life would she want to live after that, what kind of man would she not be able to find?"

When Yu Man heard this, she also felt it made quite a bit of sense.

Once Jiang Weiwei outlived Old Man Li and inherited the fortune, Yu Man also could rely on Jiang Weiwei to become one of the wealthy and idle ladies of Emperor City.

With this wonderful prospect, Yu Man quickly fell into a sweet dream...

*

At night, Jiang Moxi was confirming some details over the phone with Xie Ling for tomorrow’s press conference.

"What? You’re going to show up in person at the press conference? Are you sure?"

Xie Ling’s voice rose sharply when she heard that Jiang Moxi wanted to attend the annual new product press conference as Designer X.

"I’m certain. I’ve said it many times already; don’t doubt that you’ve heard wrong."

This time, for the press conference, Jiang Moxi had chosen the designs that had previously been lost at the Jiang Family Ancestral Hall.

These designs could very likely clash with Jiang Weiwei’s.

So, by having herself, the designer, personally promote and discuss the design concepts, it would be better.

"But with this plagiarism incident, the backlash from your fans has been severe. I worry that at the press conference, many such people will mix in, and they may harm you," Xie Ling said, deeply concerned.

Lately, Xie Ling had been tormented by these crazy fans. When her car was parked on the street, it either had paint thrown on it, or the tires were taken off.

It got to the point where she had to go out with a driver and bodyguards to prevent accidents.

So, she was quite worried that Jiang Moxi, at this critical juncture, revealing her identity would also make her a target for attack by these people.

But Jiang Moxi said, "It won’t happen. After this press conference, all the problems will be solved. Trust me."

With Jiang Moxi’s assurance, Xie Ling finally relaxed. After discussing other matters, they ended the call.

When Jiang Moxi hung up the phone, she noticed that it was already ten o’clock at night.

According to the routine of the past few days, Fu Youhan would definitely have sneaked into her room by now.

But today, the man had yet to show up...
